Government Architect Mr Philip Follent

Sep 22, 2008

Save Our Spit Allliance Inc congratulates Mr Philip Follent on his appointment to the position of Government Architect. Mr Follent is a creative and intelligent man who knows The Spit well and is committed to urban liveability and public open spaces. It is a great appointment and we look forward to seeing improved planning and design outcomes as a result.

It is also good to see Deputy Premier Lucas speaking of the increasing need for public open spaces given the increasing urban density facing south east Queensland. We trust that the Government's commitment to The Spit north of Sea World will become a practical example of the right choices being made to ensure environmental and social sustainability for future generations.

SOSA welcomes the creation of the Board for Urban Places as a smart initiative for which the Bligh Government is to be commended.
